TPV


Through continuous innovation, SUNPLAS breaks the long-term monopoly of multinational companies in technology and product areas, and develops a series of new high-quality elastomers, such as dynamic thermoplastic vulcanizate, etc.

Our company is the Key Technical Innovation Project, state-level Torch Program projects industrial base, provincial and municipal high-tech enterprises supported by Sichuan, In 2011, our chairman was named “outstanding builders of socialism with Chinese characteristics” by National United Front Work Department and other five ministries. Our company has gained ISO9001: 2008 quality management system certification.

As plastic raw material suppliers, clients’ success is our greatest desire. We will continue to develop new products to meet changing market needs, create value for customers, while continuing to strive to improve ourselves.

Thermoplastic vulcanizate(TPV)is a kind of blending thermoplastic elastomer material. It is prepared by dynamic vulcanization technology, which melt thermoplastic resin and rubber firstly, and then add the cross-linking agent. Because of the strong mechanical shearing and the chemical cross-linking by crosslinking agent, the rubber phase is cut into a large number of micron-scale cross-linked rubber particles dispersed in the thermoplastic resin matrix in the continuous phase thermoplastic resin matrix. Therefore, the structural of TPV is different with the thermoplastic elastomer prepared by polymer synthesis (such as styrene block copolymer TPE), it has a special sea - island phase structure. Its structure is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. The structure of TPV has the following characteristics: (1) The diameter of rubber particles is 1 ~ 2 μm; the crosslinking density of rubber particles is greater than 7 × 10-5 mol/mL; the particles inside contain filling and reinforcing agent, plasticizer and other additives. The large number of small crosslinked rubber particles was dispersed, and there should be no chemical bonding between the particles, makeing TPV with an excellent high flexibility. (2) A small amount of plastic coated with crosslinked rubber particles to form a continuous phase, resulting in TPV with excellent thermoplastic fluidity and repeated processability.

Advantages: In wide temperature range, TPV has excellent compression and compression stress relaxation, excellent anti-aging properties and good chemical resistance, short extrusion time, light weight, and has the characteristics of 100% renewable. Products can be translucent, the color of material qualities, easy to dye and so on.
